Moorcroft, Wyoming Public Records

The deadline to register is 14 days before any election (Wyoming Statute § 22-3-102); voters must provide a valid Wyoming driver's license or ID number, and voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by election day, and residents of Wyoming and Crook County. The town holds municipal elections for mayor and town council seats, typically scheduled on the third Tuesday in November of odd-numbered years, meaning the next municipal election will be November 2025. Candidates for Town Council and mayor file with the Moorcroft Town Clerk at 104 West Converse Street; local ballot measures and candidate lists are published by the town in advance of elections. Residents can look up their assigned polling place by contacting the Crook County Clerk or using the Wyoming Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at sos.wyo.gov; the community typically votes at a single location such as the Town Hall or school. Wyoming law makes certain election records public: voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted) are available for inspection; campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State and searchable online; candidate filings and nominating petitions are public; and precinct-level election results are published after certification. In the November 2024 general election, Crook County reported strong turnout consistent with Wyoming's high participation rates, with approximately 70-75% of registered voters casting ballots in the presidential race; the county heavily favored Republican candidates. On November 3, 2026, Wyoming voters will decide several major races: Wyoming does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 (Senators Barrasso and Lummis have terms expiring in other cycles), but there will be elections for Wyoming's single U.S. House seat, the Governor's office (Governor Mark Gordon's term expires, though term limits may affect his candidacy), statewide offices such as Secretary of State and Treasurer, all 62 seats in the Wyoming House of Representatives, and half of the 31 Wyoming Senate seats. Crook County voters will also elect county commissioners, the Crook County Clerk, Sheriff, Assessor, Treasurer, and other constitutional county offices, as these positions are on the ballot in 2026. The town may have local races for town council depending on the election cycle. Wyoming permits absentee voting; any registered voter may request an absentee ballot by submitting an application to the Crook County Clerk by the Thursday before Election Day, and ballots can be returned by mail (must be received by 7:00 p.m. On Election Day) or in person. Early voting is available in person at the Crook County Clerk's office beginning 45 days before the election and continuing through the day before Election Day.
